Wind Missing

That means it's just at freezing, still snowing, with lots of clouds, and the wind went missing overnight. I wonder if the anemometer blew down or froze.

If I start to feel too trapped in my hotel room, I can always signal for help, though. This isn't from this hotel, but I forgot to post it then, and it amuses me. You're supposed to stick it under the door to call for help. Good idea, really.

I'm trying and failing to come up with a scenario where such a sign would be useful, at least one that would be common enough for a hotel to have the idea of producing it. Do you think many of their guests get held hostage and tied by random strangers they've picked up, who then steal their phones and cut the cord to the hotel phone, but leave them enough room to manouvre to wriggle over to the door undetected and slide the 'help' sign under it? Maybe you should have hung on to it in case you need it at some other, less well-prepared, hotel?
